It's been a rainy winter here in Kentucky. Not that I mind. I'll take rain over the white stuff any day...well, except at Christmas. A white Christmas is a must! But, back to the warmer form of precipitation.
Have you ever noticed how many different kinds of rain there are?
A sudden burst when the sky opens up like the heavens turned on a faucet; lasting mere minutes before the clouds dissipate and the sun shines again.
The all-day (and night) downpour that leaves you wondering if you should gather your Ark-building materials.

The storm that rolls in across the mountains, dark clouds gathering as thunder echoes off the peaks.
A gentle spring shower, the kind that's perfect for long walks and splashing through puddles.

I adore the rain. I love everything about it. From that earthy scent that rises up after a dry spell (there's a word for that, believe it or not. Petrichor. You're welcome) to the sound it makes hitting the roof as I'm drifting off to sleep. The earth-shaking booms and flashes of lightning that accompany a summer thunderstorm and the cold drizzle that muffles the crunch of fallen leaves as autumn gives way to winter.
But what I love best is its superpower. You didn't know it has one? It does. I mean, what else has the ability to wash away the dust and grime and make the world appear fresh and clean again?

You are so right. Rain has it's own magic. I love how it smells!
ReplyDeleteI needed this post Kristine. It is rainy here today and we are dealing with mud on the farm. A reminder of the benefits of rain is welcomed!
